13/02/2019|6min

The Senate has passed the Medivac bill 36-34, ensuring that it will soon become law.
The Coalition and other conservative senators opposed the legislation, while Labor, the Greens, Tim Storer, Derryn Hinch and Centre Alliance all vote in favour.
The controversial legislation gives doctors a greater say in allowing sick asylum seekers to be transferred to Australia for treatment.
